THE HOME MERCHANT
The Home Merchant. Who la he?
He la the chap who give* you cre-
dit when yon are financially broke,
tad earrie* your account until you
ara-ablt to pay.
He la the chap who given you
back your money or makes exchang-
ee when you are not latisfled with
what you buy.
He la the chap who meets you at
the door with a handshake, and lets
you out with a message to the ‘kids’
and a real "come again” goodbye.
He la the chap whose clerka and
bookkeepers and other employes live
hem la Pryor and spend their money
with you and with other local peo-
ple.
He la the chap who helps support
our churches and charitable organi-
sations. and talks for the home town
and boosts for it every day in the
Tear.
He la the chap who visits you In
time* of alckness. sends Mowers to
your family when you die. and fol-
lows your body out among the trees
aad tomb*, a* far aa human feet may
travel with the dead.
He Is the Home Merchant—your
neighbor—your friend--your helper
te time of need.
Don’t you think you ought to do
your trading with him. and be his
friend and hi* helper?
Don’t you realise that every dol-
lar that you send out of town for
merchandise 1* sent to stranger*—to
awn who never spend * dollar here;
to men who would not trust you for
a box of matches?
Ton don’t rave much, frequently
nothing, when you send your money
out of town for goods, and you take
all the risk of abort weight or meas-
ure and of getting damaged or in-
ferior goods.
And don’t you know that the pros-
perity aad growth of this town de-
pend* very largely upon the success
aad prosperity of the Home Mer-
chant? Out of town people judge
•nr city by the appearance of our
atoms, and by the degree of enter-
prise ahown by our merchants.
And our home merchants cannot
succeed unless home folks give them
loyal support.
LET8 PULL TOGETHER.
Every town should make the most
of Its advantages. Every town is pe-
culiarly fitted for some one enterprise
more than another. Ax soon as it
ascertained what would be the most
conducive to the growth and pros-
perity of the place, the citixens
should tske hold of the matter and
push It for all It is worth.
One man cannot make a town The
newspapers cannot do it. But the
newspaper with the wide-awake men
and women of the town all pulling
together can make
In a town.
Every man who succeeds in a town
Is a help to It. The more money he
make* and spend* in the town, the
better for the entire community. The
larger business be builds up, the
more he advertises, just thst much
more Is attention called to the town
A town cannot build up without help-
lag the eouatry. The interest of
one la the interest of all.
We can build Pryor up. Let's all
pull together.
